Since "green robot" adult, doros up to version 7.0 and significantly expanded its capabilities, but the pros it remain unchanged and sort them out.

  • Plus the first. Linux. It is the Linux kernel, which is distributed under the GNU Public License universal is one of the greatest strengths of the operating system. Linux OS was originally, that provides high security of your information. To make serious changes to the system, You must have superuser privileges, or root. Simple user-level making critical changes simply cannot be, What makes it so secure. Android completely inherited this positive quality and user cannot "kill" system, No matter how hard I tried.

Buying phone on Android OS, user already gets it with some proprietary graphical. Touchwiz from Sumsung, Sense by HTC, ZenUI from ASUS, UX from LG and other, selection of solid. The exception to this rule are the only models of the Nexus and Pixel, to establish which made the arm itself is "good" Corporation and on which the user gets Android in its purest form.

Cons of Android OS

Every coin has two sides, This is very easy to verify, opening the wallet. Exactly the same situation and with operating systems. Any upside may result in negative, one need only look at a different angle. So, What can be a negative side to the popular mobile systems in the world?

  • Minus the first. Linux. Yes, Android from the first version is a clone of Linux, adapted to mobile devices. And the most secure operating system, 91% installed on servers, for the World Wide Web, serving the most sophisticated computer systems in the world, fails in the hands of normal user. The abundance of instructions, spread on the Internet and telling, How to get root access to your Smartphone, plays against the stability of the system. Although the each time "green robot" tries to warn about the dangers of using root-access functions, many users are boldly put "unique" firmware and «custom» assemblies, as a result of which line up in line at service centers with the "bricks" in the hands of.
  • Minus the second. Flexibility. Many users are advocating openness of Android, scolded proprietary OS for the inability to change the appearance and fine tuning. Yes, Android lets you "pick" all possible settings and even in the official store of present programmes, to alter the appearance of, creating clones or iOS, Windows Phone. But how are they safe, What tails they leave on your system and how well they adapted to up to thousands of models does the family of smartphones? The size of the screens in this family ranges from 4 to 6,3 inches, and a resolution of 800 x 480 screens from up to 2560 x 1440 pixels. Perfectly looking at 4-h inch screen widget will pixel monster at Full HD screens the latest models.
  • Minus the third. Choice. Shop Google Play filled with applications. Their 1.5 million, for all tastes. Check out all of them on quality and safety can be, but it is difficult to. Google is working on security, but in parallel with the main store there are portals and forums, where you can find hacked paid apps, or build popular paid games, prepared by the openness of the platform enthusiasts. In the end,, up to 25% of Android devices in the world are considered to be infected with various types of viruses, most of the user himself and installed on your smartphone.
  • Minus the fourth. Openness. Then, that gave such popularity of Android is the most dangerous enemy of the system. Google's official stats on the use of versions of Android smartphones coming out every month. In December 2016, the number of smartphones, working on versions of the OS release 2010-2014 years of manufacture, is 46,4%. A relatively new version 5.1, published in 2015 year, used on 23,3% of devices. Version 6.0, seen the light in 2015 year, powered by 29,6% of devices. The latest version 7.0 and 7.1 2016 year established only at 0,7% of devices. In another way this problem is called "fragmentation". Manufacturers have been slow to use the latest development "good" Corporation that should be adapted to "iron", and use old version. Even the flagship devices from Samsung, HTC, LG and other leading market players overlook versions last year. It should be understood, that each next version of any operating system closes the "holes" and removes "bugs", found in previous. Google can close any "holes" in the Android OS, but this user just does not recognize.
